Chapter 413 And
Chapter 413 And
Lin Daiyu sat up straight in shock: "The queen has that list now? It only contains the people from Daming Palace, but also the people from Taiji Palace?!"
Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded and her face changed drastically!
Only Yuanyang, with a still steady voice and a pale face, said: "The queen once gave a copy of that list to the old lady.
“When the holy monk came this morning, the old lady also picked out the key points and wrote some.
"In the afternoon the old lady looked through it and found the old list.
"There should be some here that were moved from Daming Palace to Taiji Palace, but I'll have to ask the adults in the palace to find out which one it is."
As Yuanyang spoke, he struggled to take out a small purse from the sleeve of his thick cotton coat.
The purse was exquisitely designed, and the embroidery was extremely lifelike with just a few stitches, but it was very old.
Yuanyang presented it to Daiyu with both hands: "The old lady said that this has been hidden for more than ten years and has never been moved. The paper inside was written by the empress back then.
"Except for her, no one else in the family knew about this thing. She had never even seen the names on the list."
Daiyu took the purse without even glancing at it. She stood up, walked to the door, and called Chu Qian, "Send it to Supervisor Tao immediately."
Wang Xifeng, who was standing next to her, was sweating profusely.
Looking at this list that Jia Mu, Daiyu and Yuanyang all avoided, and that Wang Ziteng had been thinking about, she finally thought of the purpose of the Wang family wanting this thing -
Treason!
Wang Xifeng's eyes went dark.
If Wang Ziteng really wanted to contact the old descendants of the Jia family scattered all over the country and raise an army to force the emperor to abdicate; and if these spies left by the Beijing King in the palace in the hands of Jia Yuanchun were also used by him...
Then he would drag the entire Wang family and the Jia family, no, all the four surnames in Jinling, and the entire clan, to die with him!
No, never!
A ruthless look flashed across Wang Xifeng's eyes!
I have managed to hold on to this day with great difficulty. It won't be long before I can manage the household, get rich, and have a dead husband. How can I let such a blind uncle ruin my future? ! ~
"Speaking of this, I remember my grandmother mentioned it once, that my uncle had made friends with Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces!
“It’s just that Eunuch Xia has a huge appetite, and my uncle is stingy, so we can never get close to him.
"A few years ago, when the queen was canonized as a concubine, Eunuch Xia extorted a lot of money from our family.
"Master Lian got a message from my uncle and wanted to ask him to do something for him. He kept asking for it and finally took the money, but there was no follow-up.
"Because of this, Master Lian hid from my uncle for several months, saying that he was incompetent and that even with money he couldn't make anything go wrong.
"My uncle heard about it, but he smiled and asked me to pass on a message, saying that everything that needed to be done had been done, and there was no need to bother with Eunuch Xia anymore.
"I also tried to find out what it was, but my uncle kept it a secret."
After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she continued, "There is one more thing.
"Ping'er brought back news from home the other day, saying that my aunt arranged a marriage for my cousin with the Baoning Marquisate a few years ago, and my uncle discussed the wedding date with his in-laws as soon as he came back."
Marquis Baoning?
Daiyu looked confused.
Who is this person?
Yuanyang thought for a moment and said, "This person's ancestor was granted the title together with the old Marquis of the Shi family, Baoling Marquis Shangshu Ling. They are also old friends.
"His family was similar to ours, and they had no real job for more than ten years.
“The only one who had a promising future just returned to Beijing five years ago. He was appointed as an assistant minister in the Ministry of Works, and then he was appointed to another post outside the capital.
"I just don't know which branch of the Wang family will be chosen for this marriage?"
Wang Xifeng nodded hurriedly, "That's the guy! He came to my uncle for help two years ago, and because of our old friendship, he helped him get a good job.
"He came back at the beginning of last year and is now serving as an assistant minister in the Ministry of War! His son is half a year younger than my cousin. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was young, and now he is already a scholar!"
Ministry of War, Vice Minister.
We met when I came back and discussed the "wedding date".
Daiyu took a deep breath and said, "So, has the date been set?"
"They say the two children are still young, so let's wait a little longer." Wang Xifeng curled her lips clearly, "My cousin is fourteen this year and will be a marriageable girl next year. I don't know what's wrong with her being young."
Daiyu was silent.
Yuanyang looked at her and said softly, “Princess, even if Master Wang really wants to do something, there may not be so many fools who will follow him.
"The master and the young master in our family have the same temperament as the old lady, honest and timid. There have been many changes in the family in the past two years...
"Who among those so-called family friends out there doesn't have a plan in mind? When people are around, they are friends. When you are rich and powerful, you are good relatives.
“Even if Mr. Wang uses our family’s name again, I don’t think many people will buy into it.
"Don't worry, my lord."
Daiyu sighed, sat forward, gently held Yuanyang's hand, and said softly: "Good sister, I am not worried that the master of the Wang family will use our family's name...
“Let me put it this way.
"Just after Master Wang came back, someone tried to assassinate the Queen Mother in Taiji Palace last night. Yimin was injured, and the head aunt of the Yeongja Palace, who had served the Queen Mother all her life, tried to block the arrow for her and died."
This matter has spread to all the noble families in the capital.
But everyone in the Jia family was under house arrest, and none of the relatives or friends dared to visit. They had long been deaf and blind and knew nothing about this.
Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and their faces turned pale!
Yuanyang grabbed Daiyu's hand tightly, her palms sweating: "Princess, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Daiyu lowered her eyes, "Listen to what I say.
"The Daming Palace and Taiji Palace were already under martial law because of this incident.
"But because there were two concubines who were not doing well during the investigation, the emperor was furious and left the capital with the prince."
Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with her hand, her face full of fear!
Finished!
Chang'an Jiedushi!
Assistant Minister of War!
If that bastard uncle of his really wanted to do those things, the Supreme Lord and the Crown Prince who were leaving the palace at this moment would be like a fire burning on a snowy field on a winter night, with such a clear target!
what to do! ?
How to do! ! !
“The four surnames are outside, and there are four kings and eight dukes in the capital, who have been united for so many years.
"If Master Wang insists on having his own way, it will not be enough to just guard against the relatives and friends of the Jia family.
"And there are those other ten... maybe even more."
Daiyu's eyes slid across Wang Xifeng's frightened face, then looked at Yuanyang, and held the girl's cold hands in her hands:
"Sister Yuanyang, do you know which members of the royal family the Jia family had friendly relations with in the past two dynasties?"
This topic, which was brought up in the palace, frightened Wang Xifeng so much that she cried out, "The princess is talking about supernatural powers!"
The mandarin ducks also froze at the same time!
Two dynasties ago?!
In the previous reign, there was the Xianli King who competed with him for the throne, and in this reign, there was the Xianfei Crown Prince who did evil things...
Which one can be said?
Which one is spoken here! ?
